Obviously the shooter was black. Media didn't mention his name.
One person has been killed following a shootout with Wisconsin police
officers on the roof of a middle school - while up to 70 terrified
children were trapped inside.
Germantown police responded to a person 'acting erratically' in the
parking lot of Kennedy Middle School around 7pm on Monday.
The person climbed onto the school's roof and shot at officers who were following on foot. The cops returned fire, the DOJ said.
Following an exchange of bullets, the subject was shot dead.
Between 50 and 70 students were trapped inside as their after-school
practices for activities like cheerleading, basketball, and color guard
were cut short.
The middle school was placed on lockdown due to a 'school safety threat,' according to the Germantown School District.
Samantha Scherdin, a seventh grader, said she was inside the school for
dance practice when the building was closed down. 'A lot was happening,' Scherdin said.
'Me and my friends were just all together and hugging and crying. But we
were told we had to be quiet so nothing would come into the building.
'But we were told no one was in the building. Just stuff going around and
we heard gunshots and yelling.'
The three officers involved in the incident were placed on administrative leave, per agency policy. No one else was injured.
The Germantown School District released a statement at around 8.40pm.
'Due to a school safety threat at Kennedy Middle School this evening, a lockdown was enforced. Germantown Police Department are at KMS presently,'
it read.
The district sent buses to pick up students and transport them to
MacArthur Elementary, just down the road.
Parents were instructed to bring their ID for pickup and were told to
expect further information when they arrived.
The district sent another email just before 11.30pm, notifying parents
that school would be closed on Tuesday.
The DOJ's Division of Criminal Investigation launched an investigation
into the shootout.
They will turn over reports to the Washington County District Attorney
when the investigation concludes.
